Tbh nobody is ever content with seasonal event schedules. First, it was it impacts on raiding. So some of them became raids in their own right. A handful have been shoehorned into raids. Now the schedules aren't in line with everyone. Well, it isn't in line with me either. I'd love it to run continuously, only at the times I'm on when I say so.

Point is, this way is actually best. Having them as a raid IMO has resulted in inflated expectations by Venan of just how much some can raid. Every 3 hours is great (though I think 15mins is too short - should be 30) because it gives everyone equal opportunity without feeling as though you're missing out just by not raiding for 6 hours a day. Everyone misses out on some while they sleep.

For me, this event is still the best by far, even with the changes to Halloween and Pirates.
